Titans: What's My Age Again?

Every once in awhile, people ask "How old is [insert Titans character] supposed to be?" So I've created a page that analyzes this topic. Now, comic books, as a rule, have a somewhat sliding age scale. You can only age Robin and the original sidekicks so much - because as they age, so do their mentors.

But after examining all printed evidence, I've come up with some solid age theories. And it's all been adjusted for the ONE YEAR LATER event! Check out the Titans Age Page for the full info!

yay! thanks a lot! (by the way, if Superboy could age normally in 1999's Sins of Youth, then he'd be 17/18 when he died.) Also, I think Robin was a victim of DC's age slider thing, since he was portrayed like 14-15 in many Batman, Nightwing and Robin comics. Also, he didn't look 16 during the Death of Donna Troy or Tom Grummet's interpretation of Robin in Teen Titans.

Superboy was frozen at 16 for a loooong time. He was possibly 17 at the time that he died. I think of it as 'almost 17'.

I hate to age these characters two quickly; As it is, even DC ages them too quickly. Cassie has aged 3 years since 1995! Yikes! The Young Justice Kids are waaaaay too close to adulthood now. And Bart Allen has lost all of his youthful charm.

That's a "no" on Raven. Her emotions and hormones are 17 years old. Her body is 17 year's old. She - and everyone - remembers everything that happened with the "New Teen Titans Raven." But the current Raven does not have the sensibilities of a 24 year old woman.
